The evening began with a parade of artists entering the cultural center "Miguel Angel Asturias", posing in front of the camera many of us could get a pleasant memory of what that night would be. Media attentive to those who were willing to talk to them, greet their followers and comment on what was expected of the night. It was nice to see many artists, greeting, sharing and fostering that camaraderie that does so much good to the guild.
